Artist Narrative

San Miguel, also known as St. Michael, prince of the heavenly host of angels, is one of only three angels mentioned by name in the Bible. Miguel’s name means, “who is like unto God”, which is a question posed to us all. Renowned in the Jewish, Christian and Islamic traditions, he forms between us a common bond. Miguel, similar to God in Spirit, yet different in that he was created, was called on to lead the heavenly faithful during the Great War of Heaven, when Lucifer moved to assert himself as superior to the Father. Lucifer, often depicted as a dragon, was defeated and cast from heaven.
